domain-modeling

To resolve conflicting domain terminology, normalize ambiguous terms into a canonical ubiquitous language. You challenge overloaded wording, propose sharper alternatives, and document agreed definitions in a shared CONTEXT.md file for consistent project usage.

Recording architectural decisions for hard-to-reverse trade-offs is best done by creating lightweight Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). ADRs capture the context, clear trade-offs, and consequences of a choice so future readers understand the reasoning behind the result.

You need a context map for domain modeling when separating similar concepts that should not be mixed. It clarifies boundaries between system parts, ensuring context-aware language updates do not overlap and cause ambiguous term overloading.

Yes, you can use domain modeling to distinguish between similar terms like customer, user, and account. It facilitates term normalization by challenging ambiguous wording, proposing canonical terms, and separating concepts to maintain a precise shared glossary.

The limitation of using a lightweight ADR is that it only captures durable architecture decisions with clear trade-offs and consequences. It focuses on lightweight capture rather than exhaustive documentation, meaning minor or easily reversible choices might not be recorded.
